(To send an email just click on the link on the top of any page) Also, those who would like to host an event/swap, can plan ahead to avoid conflicting dates. (All Fairs listed have poultry and other livestock exhibits).We will add some Georgia events when we become aware of them.

The schedule for the Florida fair season are posted in another thread. We try to list all of the Florida fairs that have livestock (poultry, ducks, geese, rabbits, cattle, etc.) exhibits. There are no Fairs or Shows after May. We have been unable to update.

We created this Document for Florida Animal Auctions. There have been many inquiries about where they are so we decided to make a listing. If you know of any auctions that aren't listed, please feel free to list them.Florida Animal Auctions

Again if you know of any Swaps or Events, or would like to host any, please let us know so we can post them. Also if you know of any changes in the swaps listed PLEASE either send us a PM or E-mail. All listings include dates, times, addresses, contact information and links. Most of the listings have MAPS

All swaps are subject to weather conditions. Dates and times may change. Please check with the swap hosts for further information.

Some of the Swap Meets may put their swaps on hold during the summer months because of the heat. Many of the swaps do not have shade which is hard on the animals as well as the people, so check first. We encourage people to bring either a canopy or umbrella for shade for their animals. We try to include contact information.

We have created a spread sheet for all those who would like to list Birds or related items they have For Sale or Wanted. We are open to any comments, information, suggestions and questions. We can add categories or change them. We created the spread sheet to make it easier for members to find what they are looking for with no sign in required. Welcome to Google Docs, Chicken Swap of FloridaClick on the link above to access the spread sheet. Also, if you post in Google Docs "Chicken Swap of Florida", all posts will auto save.Also, http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Florida_Swap.html

I am located in the Crestview area (northwest Florida, about 30 miles north of Destin) I have had chickens in the past ( Australops, RIR) and loved having my own eggs. My girls slowly died off and I miss having chickens. I would like to get some more chickens and have been studying the different breeds. I would like to try to find some of the Brahma breed as they appear to be fairly easy to tame down (although I had a couple of Australop girls that were big pets!) I have two granddaughters that love to come to my house to play with my two little pet pygmy goats and I would like to find some Brahmas that they could work on helping to gentle down. I have had no luck finding this breed in my area. I will be down in the Starke area on Oct 29th to take a teenage girl that I am mentoring down for an interview at the Florida Youth Challenge Academy. Would you know anyone close to that vicinity that has any Brahma pullets for sale? Thanks for any help! arriss1952@gmail.com

Parking is available in center divide as well as on the front yard. We have vendors set up from 8am to 9am. then buyers float in through out the day. I post in local feed stores & craigslist.
